Vote

Sometimes we aren't sure if we can squeeze in the time to vote. We spend the entire year complaining about the things we do not like about what's going on in our city, state, and country, but then when we are given an opportunity to make a difference we find ourselves too busy to make it to the voting polls.

As a real estate agent I have specific concerns. I am concerned about out economy, and I am concerned about the safety of our communities.

These, I would say, have to be at the top of my list. 

There are two main parties in the elections that pretty much narrow our options.
In this election we have an extremely liberal democrat in Hillary Clinton who would like to continue down the same road Obama has taken us on. The liberals play on the emotions of the American people saying it is important for us all to "take care of the less fortunate". The liberals thought process is that they take from the rich to give to the poor. The liberals also believe in a one world order, which means we have to befriend our enemies. This isn't good policy for making America safe. 

On the other side we have the republicans. Our option this time around is Donald Trump. Donald Trump is somewhere down the middle, which is why many establishment politicians do not agree with him. I believe this could be a positive in his favor because he can appeal to many voters from both sides of the isle. The republican stance is usually more conservative on many issues. But as I mentioned my main concerns as a realtor is that of the economy and the safety of our communities. 
Trumps thought process, along with republicans is teach a man to fish and he can care for himself for a lifetime. In other words create more jobs, so there are more opportunities for all. Stealing from the rich to give to the poor is a viscous circle that begins and then never ends until the rich become a part of the poor and there are no more funds to distribute. Donald Trump believes that we should adhere to the laws of the land that are already on the books with regard to immigration. Legal immigration is more than acceptable, it is encouraged, but on the other hand, illegal immigration is not acceptable and should not be ignored. Building a wall will send the signal that we are serious about adhering to the laws that are already on the books with regard to immigration. Without going too deep into my personal beliefs I just wanted to point out two clear differences in this election year.

1. Democrats= less safe community because the laws will be ignored
2. Democrats= continued poverty because the rich will leave or quickly go broke trying to provide for the millions at poverty level. 

1. Republicans= more jobs, lower taxes, thereby creating more opportunities for people to get themselves out of poverty.
2. Republicans= safer environment by vetting people who come here more stringently, and no longer allowing illegal immigration, which keeps us from knowing who comes here.

Yes, I am a republican and I would truly love to see increased incomes for all by way of more job opportunities so that I can help make everyone realize their dream of home ownership.
